Reflashing it 1000 times will never resolve the issue. The device needs to be replaced. No OS (android, iOS, Windows Mobile, WebOS) can maintain stability when blocks go bad.

Check your kernel log (type dmesg), and you should be seeing I/O or ECC errors.
Used "dmesg" and there is no I/O or ECC errors. But I did reboot last night because duke nukem crashed. So it just reports lots of "musb_hdrc periph: enabled ep2out for bulk out, maxpacket 512." kind of messages. I will have to keep an eye on it, at the moment I don't have time to sit and read the wiki on how to flash it. It is just a media player for me now (back to my tytn2). I can however use the dmesg to see what is going on as the phone acts up.

Interestingly, another "quirk" of this phone. In order to turn the volume of a game up, for example duke nukem. I can't use the volume controls anymore. I now need to go into media player, turn up the volume in that. Which then affects games and other software. The volume controller that is tied to the hardware buttons on top. No longer have any effect, but still slide the little picture of the volume left and right along the screen.

This phone just gets better.
